Voted yea on H.R. 5750 (EQUALS Act of 2025 — Extends probationary periods for new federal civil service employees and adjusts service time requirements for performance-based discipline) on 2025-12-01: Gill co-sponsored this bill which makes it easier to remove federal employees. The bill aligns with Club for Growth's goal of reducing the federal workforce. TX-26 is not a major federal employment hub, so the impact on his constituents is limited, but the bill advances major donor interests.

Expected position: As a sitting congressman who advocates for law and order and government transparency, Gill would be expected to publicly address his failure to timely disclose up to $500,000 in Bitcoin purchases within the 45-day STOCK Act window. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Gill was active on social media and in congressional hearings during this window — on June 2 he disclosed the late trades; on June 3-4 multiple news outlets reported the violation. The Houston Chronicle (Chron) reported reaching out to Gill's office for comment but receiving no response by publication time. Decrypt also reported his office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Gill continued posting on social media about other topics while remaining silent on the STOCK Act violation.

Expected position: As a freshman representative who campaigned on being accountable to constituents, Gill would be expected to provide open, publicly advertised town halls accessible to all constituents, not invitation-only events. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Gill held five town halls on July 30, 2025 in Lewisville, Little Elm, Gainesville, Decatur, and Bartonville. A constituent letter published in the Cross Timbers Gazette reported that most constituents never received invitations, the events were held mid-day on a Wednesday, there was no advance notice on social media, the official website, or via local press, and the only trace of advance notice came from conservative groups and HOA Facebook pages. Gill subsequently posted on social media praising the events as successful constituent engagement but did not address the lack of public notice.

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

ComponentWeightSignal
Contradiction Risk30%Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence20%Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density20%Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk15%Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume15%Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation0%Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment0%Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
